Includes the following biographical notes on the four exhibiting artists:

(1) -- "Peter and Theo Janssen were born in Belfeld in the Netherlands in the early 1930's. Peter studied under the well-known landscape and portrait painter J. Moonen and at the Free Academy Utrecht qualifying as a master painter and interior decorator and a chemist. He served a further period of study under Father Victor, an outstanding artist in stained-glass. He is now a New Zealander. Theo also studied with Moonen for five years and as assistant to various artists in the Netherlands producing stained-glass windows, mosaics, glass in concrete. He is self-taught in modelling and sculpture. His work is represented in public buildings in Delft, Brussels and other European cities. The present exhibition is composed of more recent experiments with stained-glass in concrete, ceramic mosaics and wall panels in bronze, iron and other metals. Theo Janssen won this year's Banks Competition with a mural in baked enamels and Peter was in second place."

(2) -- "Kees Hos was born in the Hague 1916 and graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts there, winning the Prix de Rome (Silver 1941) in Graphic Art. He has exhibited in many parts of the world, notably at the Third International Biennale of Prints in Japan in 1962. He has held one man shows in all the major centres in New Zealand. His work is also represented in many Galleries overseas and in New Zealand. He is at present working as a full-time print maker in his Auckland Studio. To quote Kees Hos: 'The old craft of transferring drawings and paintings to copper plate, woodblock or stone, having become obsolete with the introduction of photomechanics and automatic printing machinery has been re-discovered by artists as a fascinating creative medium. This has opened up a new and characteristically "graphic" landscape of form and has given me new ways towards my ideas and subjects. This new series is a return to etching and intaglio printing - a technique which I left alone for about two years.'"

(3) -- "Alison Pickmere is an Auckland painter living and working on the North Shore. She has recently taken up 'Colour etching' a process which she learned with S.W. Hayter of Atelier 17 Paris. She exhibited a series of these etchings together with the potter Doreen Blumhardt of Wellington at the New Vision Gallery. Her paintings and etchings are represented in several New Zealand Galleries and in Collections here and abroad. Her subjects come from a deep and intimate connection with New Zealand Nature and History. She says 'Briefly the etchings are made in this way. The metal plate is etched and engraved by various methods - inked in intaglio and surface colour then printed under high pressure on heavy dampened paper.'"
